I have no idea how this would become a reality.


There are a few bars around here that do a "bring your own vinyl" night and let people dj for a certain amount of time, the popular ones are usually able to wrangle a gig or two out of it, though I've got no clue how profitable it would be. If there's a local scene you can piggyback onto that too - artists and writers like having music as part of their events, and sometimes concert venues want a dj to keep up the energy in between acts.

Would probably go with "DJ Goofle" if I were to reference my internet persona. :D

But I would worry that if I became really famous, people would find the absolutely ridiculous things I have said on the internet over the years.

I have had that concern too lol. Not that I would really become famous.

Bump.

Today I officially decided to study physics after high school. Obviously, there's still time to change, but I'm pretty sure I've found my path.

Physics is hands down the best math class I ever had. It's easily relatable to real world, every day things. Have you started teaching yourself yet?

I may still have my notebook and tests, if you're interested in seeing what to prepare for at the intro to physics college level, I can look for them.

I love that it can be both mind-bending (e.g. string theory) and practical (e.g. Newtonian mechanics).

And that would be great. Thanks, Vwls.

I want to be a drug lord now.

Grades 1 through 6 I probably just wanted to build ****, grades 6 through 10 I wanted to be a musician, in highschool I got into science & tech and decided that I wanted to wrench on technology for a living. For the last 3 years I've been working in the wireless telecommunications industry, primarily testing, repairing, and commissioning cellular coverage systems, occasionally designing and fabricating custom products for them. In the future I want to transition into radio astronomy and wrench on massive radio telescopes in the middle of nowhere, hopefully at the Dominion Observatory in Okanagan Valley.

Not quite sure how I'm going to accomplish that, but I'm confident that I will.

That's awesome Epoch.

@PetSounds

Physics is amazing. If I didn't decide on environmental science, I would have been a physics major after taking this class. Good luck.

This was an intro to physics class for non-physics majors (filled a 3 subject notebook between notes/practice/hw assignments :D):

Topics covered:
-Basic trig(to find angles)
-Vectors and Scalars
-Adding Vectors and Scalars
-Displacement (and submersion/flotation)
-Instantaneous Speed and Velocity (and angular velocity)
-Gravity
-Force (physical(push/pull), magnetic, gravitational, electrostatic)
-Newton's Laws of Motion (1, 2, and 3)
-Free fall
-Friction
-Elevator problems
-Pulleys
-Circular motion
-Tension
-Kinetic/Potential Energy
-Work
-Conservative vs Non-conservative Forces
-Principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy
-Linear Momentum (and Conservation of Linear Momentum)
-Elastic vs Inelastic Collisions
-Pressure (and U-tube problems)
-Torque
-Acceleration/Speed (and angular acceleration)
-Rotational kinematics

The first 3 images are my first and second exams side by side.. The last 3 are a study guide for exam 3 (my final) that I never got back.

I don't think a lot of people are aware of the fact that MIT has most of their courses available for free to anyone who feels the need to smash a bunch of knowledge into their head. In your case, PS, this would be a great place to start:

MIT online is how I learned to tie my shoes.

DwnWthVwls 01-11-2017 12:07 PM

I didn't know that.. Bookmarked. Thanks.

The Batlord 01-11-2017 12:26 PM

Yeah that's pretty cool.

Harvard has a similar thing as well: https://www.edx.org/school/harvardx

One of my longtime favorite offerings from Haavaad...

Harvard Bartending Course

Quote:

The first course in 1964 was planned as a platform for helping Harvard students find jobs as bartenders. This course would be very similar to our current ‘Art of Mixology’ class currently offered – however, this course was open twice a month for 90-120 people, and featured a ‘final exam’ where students would form a circle and mix drinks for the person to their right. This would continue until a student passed out. Unfortunately, legislation has since tightened and we cannot feature this bontonious exam!

Probably a more useful major than psychology. :D
